Abstract
A teleoperational control system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the system to engage a first operational mode of the teleoperational control system for controlling a teleoperational instrument in response to movement of a control device in a first degree of freedom and engage a second operational mode of the teleoperational control system for controlling a graphical user interface. While in the second operational mode, the system may track movement of the control device in a second degree of freedom, different from the first degree of freedom. While in the second operational mode and responsive to the movement of the control device in the second degree of freedom, the system may apply a first haptic force to the control device.
